Sisu Uptown Resort

Sisu Uptown Resort is one of the few Uptown aqua lounges that does not require a club membership. Open to the general public, Sisu's pool accommodates Dallasites looking to swim year round.

Lake House Bar & Grill

Located less than a mile away from White Rock Lake, just off of Northwest Highway, Lake House Bar & Grill is a far cry from an actual lake house, although it'll do just fine after a long day of work.

What looks like an actual treehouse, if it were first an old fraternity house, is a spanning two-story bar directly next to the heart of the University of North Texas campus, and caters mostly to students.

Blue Goose Cantina
2905 Greenville Ave. Dallas, TX 75206
214-823-8339
http://www.bluegoosecantina.com Fajitas, tamales, enchiladas -- the trifecta of Tex-Mex cookery -- are the specialties at Blue Goose, matched only by the much-lauded (and guzzled) margaritas. From the original Greenville Avenue location to the locations scattered around the Dallas area, the Tex-Mex restaurant's slogan holds true everywhere. It's "Where Every Day is a Fiesta," with its all-the-colors-of-the-rainbow paint scheme and neon lighting. The signature Goose Eggs app is a plate of jalapeños stuffed with chicken and cheese with the house Durango sauce on the side. Along with the aforementioned Tex-Mex standards are signature items like the Chimichanga a la Blue Goose, Pollo a la Chipotle and twin chiles rellenos. A table with all that food on it is definitely for a party. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>

Blue Mesa Grill
1586 E. Southlake Blvd. Grapevine, TX 76092-6421
817-416-0055
http://www.bluemesagrill.com The meal to have at this area favorite is the Mexican breakfast buffet. Families in their post-church Sunday best line up for the omelet bar, and Tex-Mex offerings such as the chicken and mushroom enchiladas with chipotle cream sauce and waffles. The rest of the menu, with as many ingredients locally sourced as possible, is marked by higher-end Mexican and Tex-Mex specialties such as slow-roasted natural chicken with caramelized honey-ancho glaze and the blue-corn-crusted mahi mahi with roasted poblano aioli. Of course, tacos make an appearance, but we're talking beef tenderloin tacos here. The décor follows suit with clean and colorful appointments. Reservations are most definitely recommended.

Blue Room
1409 S. Lamar St. Dallas, TX 75242
The Boiler Room
2723 Elm St. Dallas, TX 75226
214-758-0104
http://www.theboilerroomdallas.com The Boiler Room, located on Elm Street across from Dada in Deep Ellum, received a facelift less than a year after opening. The place still has the general dark feel, with its black painted walls, curtains and neon lights, but the changes, which include a full menu and stage for performances from area rock bands, are a reflection of new owner Stevie Benton's style. Benton, who plays bass for Drowning Pool, took over the Boiler Room as a way to give back to the neighborhood that launched his band more than a decade ago. "[Drowning Pool] got our start down in Deep Ellum," Benton says. "We owe that area pretty much our entire career." Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Bolsa
614 W. Davis St. Dallas, TX 75208-4744
214-367-9367
http://www.bolsadallas.com Just the concept of local ingredients trucked in from the farm every day, the reliance on organic meats and vegetables, and the ever-changing menu would be enough to attract enough of a following to sustain this small Oak Cliff station. But the kitchen is pretty damn good too-even without a deep fryer or walk-in freezer as back-up. The flavors are intensely fresh and the dishes creative without being overwrought. And if that's not enough, the owners designed Bolsa with great sensitivity to the building's historic look and feel. OK, so it's an old auto shop-it still feels like part of a 1940s neighborhood. Open, airy, with a cool "beer garden"-style patio. Really, one of the best new restaurants. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>

Boston's Gourmet Pizza
1100 Market Place Blvd. Irving, TX 75063
972-869-2210
http://www.bostonsgourmet.com Boston's Gourmet Pizza specializes in a wide variety of pizza concoctions, but this Irving restaurant is much more popular for the cold drinks that accompany its deep-dish fare. On a recent visit, the dining room was sparsely filled, while the separate bar room was packed to the gills for a Dallas Mavericks game, which could be seen on the flatscreens plastered across every wall. The pizza chain seems to have embraced its sports bar popularity, making sure that every seat offers a clear view of a nearby television. When the dining room shuts down, the bar continues to serve a selection of pub grub items ranging from wings to, of course, pizza. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
The Bottle Shop
2116 Greenville Ave. Dallas, TX 75206
214-828-2873
http://www.worldbeercompany.com Clay Hartmann opened up the World Beer Company a few years ago. The business, which allows patrons to send gift baskets with exotic imported and craft beers to friends, was successful. But Hartmann had a problem finding a home for all the leftover beer. His new venture, The Bottle Shop, located next to The Singlewide on Greenville Avenue, solves his problem. The place operates as a beer store and a bar, so you can have a beer and, if you like it, take home a six-pack. The Bottle Shop is designed for the curious beer drinker, though. With more than 400 beers to sample, including the Spanish Estrella Damm-a rare find in any Dallas bar-it's hard not to try something new. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Bowery Dallas
3407 McKinney Ave. Dallas, TX 75204
214-965-9110
http://www.bowerydallas.com Bowery brings not just hot dogs to McKinney Avenue, but fancy-pants sausages, too. While most hot-dog stands stop after banging out a few of the great American dogs (Chicago, chili, corn, etc.), this Uptown restaurant takes tube steaks to a new level of creativity. There’s the Mac Daddy, which tops a link with mac and cheese and bacon, and the Croque Madame, which employs bechamel and a sunny-side-up fried egg, and it only gets crazier. The Flying Dutchman adds waffle fries, bacon, chives, smoked gouda and mornay sauce, while the Bahn Mi tops a lemongrass-tinged pork sausage with carrot and daikon pickles cilantro and hoisin. Come hungry, because the buns are the size of catcher’s mitts. And come thirsty, as there’s a small beer list and a decent cocktail program, too. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>

Brackets
5300 E. Mockingbird Lane Dallas, TX 75206
214-823-0123
http://www.bracketsdallas.com There are two very different eateries lurking in the cavernous space Brackets took over from the beloved Trader Vic's: a dismal upscale restaurant dealing in $25 steaks and seafood dishes its kitchen can't quite handle and a thoroughly enjoyable sports bar. The secret to enjoying a meal here is cherry-picking the menu for the items that define pub grub. Bypass the filets and tuna steaks for burgers and pizza, which, while not extraordinary, will provide all the sustenance needed for a round of darts or competitive game of pingpong on one of the restaurant's two tables.

Brewed
801 W. Magnolia Ave. Fort Worth, TX 76104
817-945-1545
In a swanky little building on the corner of W. Magnolia and Travis avenues in Fort Worth's Near Southside neighborhood lives a bar with a split personality. Inside, one large wall divides Brewed into two bars. One is a coffee shop with robust brews and espressos that TCU college students feast upon during final exams season. The other side hosts a wall of specialty beers, drafts, imports and microbrews. Trendy décor and lush couches fill both spaces, interspersed with knickknacks, vintage objects and chessboards. Two stone fire pits occupy the large outdoor patio space, keeping it warm in the cooler months and creating just enough ambiance for a first or second date. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>

British Beverage Company (BBC)
2800 Routh St. Dallas, TX 75201
214-992-8220
http://www.bbcpub.com A sleek new bar that hopes to serve as Uptown’s go-to brew house is what the locals have coined “BBC.” With a massive draft beer setup, there are more than 52 reasons to visit The British Beverage Company, not to mention the place’s impressive collection of bottled beers. The sleek interior is only half as impressive as the outdoor courtyard, which features multiple fire pits and comfortable seating. Although it doesn’t have the greatest happy hour deals, the bar makes up for it with its live acoustic music three nights a week. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Broncos Sports Bar
900 Airport Freeway Hurst, TX 76054
817-498-0600
http://www.broncossportsbar.com Broncos Sports Bar and Grill in Hurst is certainly no one-trick pony. Though the words "sports bar" have made their way into Bronco's title, and the place is filled with bar games, billiards and arcade games, Broncos is known as a country music hub in the Mid-Cities. Opened in 1989 by former NFL players Ron Faurot and Billy Ray Smith, the bar's popularity and character have only grown with age. Its tall green walls and wooden beams and rafters are covered with vintage beer signs and posters, some of which have been there since they were new-just like many of the regulars who have bellied up to the bar for the last two decades.

Brooklyn Jazz Cafe
1701 S. Lamar St. Dallas, TX 75208
214-428-0025
http://www.brooklynjazzcafe.com In the Southside on Lamar neighborhood hides a hot and cool club, named after New York City's hip borough. This musical haunt was awarded Best Jazz Club honors in our 2010 edition of Best of Dallas and the 2009 best brunch. Brooklyn Jazz Café is housed in a plain redbrick corner building that during the day is flooded with light through French doors. Aside from house specialties, like spicy Caribbean shrimp and oxtails, customers can enjoy swinging tunes while playing pool or sipping house cocktails in the inner bar that's lined with corrugated metal. Sundays feature the talents of Nadia Washington as well as bottomless Bloody Marys, mimosas, poinsettias and belinis. Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
Bryan Street Tavern
4315 Bryan St. Dallas, TX 75204-6738
214-821-4447
http://www.bryanstreettavern.com It’s a wild scene at Bryan Street Tavern on weekends. Indie-rock and punk acts perform in the music venue, a separate room located in the back of the bar, while other patrons play pool or sit and eat pizza from the bar’s kitchen. A glass shatters on the floor, but only a few look up at the commotion. It’s a dive, but a good one. The low ceilings and wood-paneled walls aren’t much to look at, but the drinks are cheap and the company is good. Obscure soul and R&B on the stereo offer padding to drunken conversations well into the morning. Bryan Street Tavern isn’t a bar you stop in; it’s a bar you close down.

Buck N'loons Cafe
3517 S. Cooper St. Arlington, TX 76015
817-466-2825
http://www.bucknloons.com Independently owned and run since 1999, Buck n' Loons is a straight-shootin', homestyle restaurant and bar with hunting lodge appeal. Stone walls and log cabin booths reside under the antler chandelier. It's a big meeting spot for school bands and teams drawn to Texas-hearty meals that are cooked from scratch, like chicken-fried steak and fried catfish. Taste of Arlington voted Loon's Juice (three types of margarita and tropical flavors) to be the best alcoholic beverage in town. In the casual atmosphere it's common to find the owners sitting next to patrons at the bar or around the tables in the dining room, conversing and endorsing their rule of thumb: "Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first." Read more about this Dallas bar or club >>
